Why I don't drink, a look into my past with alcohol - Battlefield 3 Gameplay Commentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- I don't drink alcoholic beverages. Not a moral nazi and not telling you not to drink. Quite the opposite actually, drink all you see fit and have great time! I, however, chose not to. This is a long commentary about experiences in my childhood that influenced my decision not to drink. The gameplay that you're seeing is three different games with my project PTFO partner / captainobviouzx . The first match is a 12v12 Squad Rush on Sienne Crossing on BF3 Xbox360 where we managed to defend in the first round. The other two matches are much more difficult 4v4 Squad Rush games on Kharg Island and Sienne Crossing again.

"Don't worry about the Noob-Toob we're talking about alcohol here"
-Drift0r
+TheMelonater I read this as it came up in the video
+Water Blaze45 SAME
Thats pretty deep to come out with on youtube. Major respect for making something of yourself despite the challenges
Matt Pryce dude he doesn't drink, it's not like he's a paraplegic
RAPTIMETIMETORAP not the fact he doesnt drink. I was referring to the struggles of his parents with alcohol and the rough start. Its not the type of thing you see a lot of people admit on youtube.
There were a commercial for Absolut vodka at the begining of the vid. Irony
hey Drift. I always avoided this video, old as it is, because of my own family history with alcohol. I watched it today on the anniversary of my mom's death and really connected w/this video. Thanks for being so open and giving of yourself man.
drift0r you have had an interesting life have you ever considered writing a book?
I would buy it
^^same
Didn't know dour creme had the ability to talk.
*Sour Cream
AdrenalineInducedHigh It's intentionally spelled like that.
I've just watched some of your more personal vids, and I must say that I really respect you man. I've been watching your channel for a few years and hope you wont ever stop making vids
Drift0r, I know that this is a couple of years ago and it might be totally different now, and I know that he's your dad and I shouldn't be prying into your business, but if I were you I might want to see a therapist at some point. The classic abusive relationship has one person treating another one terribly sometimes, but being nice when they're sober/happy, leading the subject of abuse to conclude that they're a good person most of the time and that when their dad/boyfriend/girlfriend etc. is abusive, it's not really them. I'm sure you love your dad. Figuring out how to fix stuff like that (if you haven't confronted him before on it) could help both of you in the long run.
I loved the rest of your video. I almost never drink, but I admit to drinking under heavy peer-pressure, which often happens because all my friends are taking shots and I'd much prefer to just sit on a couch and do other things. Drinking is a social thing people do, and people judge you (subconsciously, consciously) if you don't drink. It sucks.
Through my darkest times, I use to fall asleep listening to these when my T was so bad, you helped distract so much driftor thanks man life saver
Wait his mother's father put wiskey in here bottle when she was a baby!!
Now that is just messed up
No it is not. Whiskey calms the nerves. Whenever i would get too rowdy when i was a kid (almost never) my dad would take whiskey and rub it on my gums.
huh, well I didn't know that, but buy the way it sounded, he abused the alcohol
Lorenzo Jurado I just got a good ass whipping.
it may work but that doesn't make it right. alcohol is technically a poison (albeit weak) which is why it impairs the mind
DubGLab but wine is good for your health if you dont drink big portions of it.
"dad not a bad guy"
"and he sucker punched be right in the back of the head and I was like 9 years old"
oh ok whatever you say drift0r...
C'mon, dude, life is unpredicted and everything can happen. Especially when someone is dunk and he can't fully control himself.
Joseph Mottram you can do bad things and not be a bad person
Bullshit. He chose to drink and he CHOSE to BEAT HIS SON. He's trash and should be in jail at the VERY LEAST.
I've been dangerously drunk (to my own health) so many times, and I have NEVER hit ANYONE much less a child, or MY OWN GODDAMN SON. Don't sympathize with evil fucks.
sarcasm was implied
I don't drink alcohol either but i don't care about experiencing any of that, you don't have to drink to have fun
Alcohol is the worst drug on the planet, and it is legal. If you can be responsible it is a lot of fun, but if you can't (battling that myself) you probably shouldn't partake.
+David White (Mr. No Chill) It's easy, when things get boring you drink a bit(as a rule less than you think you should drink). And when things are interesting don't drink no matter what
Thindorama Hmm... Never heard that one before. Where'd you hear it from? That's interesting but it actually makes sense.
David White I experimented and figured it out. I always used to be unsatisfied with my level of drinking, I sometimes drank too little and sometimes too much(mostly too much).
David White the more I drink, the more I drink.
Alcohol is bad, but the worst drug on the planet? Do you live under a rock?
There's nothing I hate more than being around drunk people when I am completely sober. Not only do you feel like you are missing out on the fun, but at the same time, everyone's way too in your face and enthusiastic and I'm just sitting there all chilled, I hate it. Pro tip, if you drink and you're going out with your friends, do everything in your power to not be the driver for the night.
Drifter I doubt you will ever read this but I just wanted to say that you were the first RUclipsr I ever liked when I was around 11. I grew up with an alcoholic father and I always promised myself I would never drink due to seeing what the alcohol did to him and a lot of people would reply with “oh wait till you’re older you’ll definitely drink.” I remember watching this video for the first time years ago and being super happy that I could look up to you as a youtuber and a great influence because I could relate to a lot of things you said when you described your life with your alcoholic parents. Fast forward to just a couple weeks ago, my father unfortunately passed away due to a drug overdose and I can still say to this day I will never touch drugs or alcohol. Thank you driftor.
❤❤
Also drinking can lead to heart diseases
But in moderation it helps your liver
I literally started this video and then paused it, went bar hopping, and now I have resumed. Gotta say I have some similar stories with my dad, but he's not a bad guy. I just found you today Driftr0r, but you are truly a great commentator!
My dad doesn't have a drinking problem the way your parents seemed to have but it still makes me not want to drink alcohol. In addition I'm not very sociable at all and don't like people that much nor care about them. I also don't see any point in drinking or anything special in it.
Driftor you earned my respect .. you really did and this just the second video of yours that i watched this morning.. im happy to see and witness people like you on youtube :) have a good day
13:23 realistic military shooter everyone...
I really enjoy Driftor's videos because unlike every other celebrity of any kind, Driftor is a human. He has good advice and many stories to tell, and more than once, his advice has gotten me out of or helped me avoid quite serious trouble. Cheers to you, Driftor, for all the people you have helped.
You have good reasons.
And..... You have terrible parents. My God good sir, wow.
TheFly212 he himslelf said that his dad was good dad, just take his Word about it
That’s between them.
Hey Drift0r, much respect to you. And thank you for sharing. I hope you hear how much we, a people and online society, honor your decisions (and others like yours). Be strong Sir. Love your analytical videos.
JP
I don't drink, never have. Have no reason to. My father never did, and his father never did. So it's not in my gene's. But I know how you feel when you go out with friends to a club or something and everyone is drinking, we don't know what the feeling is like or what kind of fun they are having. Nothing wrong with not drinking. Keep it up and don't touch it. Peace.
randomly came across this while killing time at work, fascinating commentary
I don't want to drink because my dads addicted always passed out and I've got an addictive personality so I don't want to drink so I won't get fucked up and become fucked up
why did you say that on my comment?
TopGear Stig lol ikr is not the thing to put on a comment like this one
Yeah from my past, I don't want to hit my kids, its just not right
Feel the same way
Good for you Driftor you are what you make of yourself and your on the right path despite what sounds to be the complete lack of a head start. Recognizing that you have anger issues and an addictive personality are two very good reasons to not drink.
Since I discovered cannabis, my desire to drink went down to zero. As a diabetic, it's safer for me to consume cannabis rather then alcohol because I can't feel hypoglycemic symptoms, which can kill me, and alcohol leaves you more prone to hypoglycemia, which can also kill me.
@@Frosty_V0 sorry to tell you but weed is definitely not better than cigarettes, doesn't take more than 20 min to figure out
Sounds like you really had a tough childhood. I'm sorry for what you've been through, I honestly respect you. I liked you enough from your videos, but now I know you're an even better guy, I couldn't use the words to describe my respect.
This commentary was actually really helpful since I am "struggling" with few of those problems with drinking. I know many people from my grandparents families and so who are or were heavy drinkers and I don' really want to become like that.
Also I am afraid that I'd be aggressive or mean person when drunk since I keep all my feelings inside and usually only get angry by my self.
There are some reasons for me not to drink that you didn't mention, but hearing about somebody else having same kind of problems is somehow helpful.
P.S. No, I'm not against drinking. That's not the case :D
For alcoholism, if you strong willed, you might be ok... But I'm not an expert on that.
For how you would be when drunk, well if you don't punch first and ask questions later when sober (and aren't trying to suppress that), you should be ok on that side.
But for all, it really depends on the person.
When I'm drunk, well there the normal inhibition, I speak more and all... But I also stay smart.
Don't loose yourself to the effects of alcohol (or whatever).
...
When I drink harder alcohols, I enjoy good quality alcohols. I enjoy the flavor. And I can tell you, if all alcohols tasted like Mezcal (I have a bottle of that), I would not drink alcohol (because damn, Mezcal is some nasty stuff! It smells like burnt rubber/overheating car Parking breaks, and the flavor is... I forgot... But it ain't nice).
So funny to hear how you talk and view what your life could be and what it turned into be. Ten years later still doing what you love for a living!! So happy for you! I was an avid watcher of yours about 10-12 years ago. Black ops 1/mw3 is when I found you I think maybe bo2 it’s a little foggy. Haven’t been an avid watcher ever since going to college and getting my own life together but I’m glad to see where you are now keep going!
A 1800 tequila ad just popped up right before I watched the video.................
Oh no, you've heard it here, drift0r doesn't drink he's gonna die of dehydration.
I don't drink or do drugs but I say. if I didn't need it before in life why do I need it now
Drift0r you just earned so much respect from me, and possibly everyone. Your a great guy. Keep up the great work!
I have he exact same dilemma as him. Alcoholism runs in my family, and I want to try it, but it seems way to risky.
I'm so sorry to hear about your childhood, Drift0r. It broke my heart when you told us you had to ask the bartender to bring you home. :(
You need to Google Adult Child of Alcoholic ( ACOA Syndrome) What your parents did to you is not average or normal. You had a harsh, strenuous childhood. You could benefit from going to counselling or talking to other ACOAs in an emotional support group. The child is not supposed to raise the parents. The child is not responsible for triggering bad decisions by the parents.
I think it's an amazing testament to your character that you have noticed traits in your own self, and have chosen not to drink because of that. This video told me a lot about myself even though you were telling it regarding you not me.
One time I got jumped by 8 armed guys got knocked out and I woke up in Bagdad. True story.
drinking isn't all that it's cracked up to be... it puts your life on hold and if you do it a lot it holds you back from your potential... I do drink once in awhile and you're not missing anything. Drunks are always nasty if they have even the slightest temper when they are sober. I have been in the health care field for 24 years... the one thing we hate to do is take care of a person who has drank a lot during their life. one thing you don't realize is that you do have the gene... alcoholics crave the alcohol that turns into sugar in your system, that's why you crave sugar but in a non alcohol form, which is alright and I give you a lot of credit for knowing and seeing and learning from others experiences... we as humans never learn by others mistakes... great for you for seeing and breaking the cycle!!!! stay true and stay sober, life is better when you are sober!!!! always remember... alcohol only destroys what you build up sober!!!!!!!
ever since i drank 4 beers in 1 sitting some time ago,i feel like immediatly throwing up as soon as i drink beer.
Hey drift0r , I know this sounds stupid coming from me but im glad that your mom is who she is ( to an extent ) and how your dad is how he is . It made you the unique person you are today . Ive watched all of your ghost story videos and your epic dream vampire series . . . And honestly you must be one of hell of a man to be able to deal with the shit that you have without going absolutly insane . . . I love your videos and your personality . Stay strong !
It's depressing that you still tell yourself your dad is a good guy. :/
There's a difference between a good person, and a good parent.
He probably is a good man, and I can believe it. He may have some sort of psychological problems, or he just panics and resorts to his instincts or impulses.
He is a bad parent for this, though, because Drift's life could be extremely different.
+Emil Myhre he said a good person. A good dad is something driftor doesn't have
Good people don't hit children, _period_. So, NO, he is not a good person.
Everydayheresy Some parents use beating for discipline. My parents did but they only did it when I didn't listen and was doing something very bad, and you would think I would hate them but I love my parents to death.
Imo, the moment beating turns into abuse is when the person does it for no valid reason and is doing it out of pleasure of seeing someone getting hurt.
@@CM-rp3zx would you beat your dog for not listening?
Dude i know exactly what you mean. I dont drink for similar reasons and never plan on it I have taken a shot, chugged a beer but never anything that would actually do anything to me. But boy do i want to. I feel all of the things you explained while at parties, i also tend to get left out of what ever is going on. I still run into ppl who try to pressure me to drink but luckily most of my friends are understanding or just given up on that.
Drinking is a waste of time, IMO. Been there and done that...
Danimal_Mtb its waste of time but its fun and if you arent having fun in life what are you doping with your life?
@@maelstrom_8196 true! Love absint
Its so funny how fast the transitions are between him telling his stories and talking about the game.
17:20 that one guy he revived like 5 times in a row😂😂💀
xD yes
I subscribed. You are a very well spoken and intelligent person. There needs to be more people like you.
Fireworker picker-uppers: I hear they make a lot : /
D, I've been a sub for some time now and have enjoyed a lot of your videos. In response to this one, I drink on occasion. No real rhyme or reason, just when the mood strikes me. That said, I can respect you for your choice not to drink. However, making a decision (in part) to or not to do something just because of what others will think - you are your own person. If someone likes or dislikes your decision, to hell with them. Your life is your show. You run it.
'Dad's are like arseholes, everyone has one but they're arseholes'
but i'm European and proud doe :'(
Codeale i dont have one
well damn *****
not all dads are arseholes
+John Lichtenfels check out grant Thompson or king of random he's the best dad
this story is so sad.. keep making AMAZING videos drift0r
Why would you judge someone who doesn't drink? Drinking is not for everyone.
When my dad's mom was dying, he had one beer at the end of the day for the last week of her life. You say it's not for everyone?
+John Smith what does that have to do with his comment? Dude. I'm sorry for you and your family and all. But dude. Your dad can drink or not. It doesn't matter to us
+Preston Hawkins he said it isn't for anyone, I'm giving an example where it helped
Sorry, I meant drinking is not for everyone. Some people cannot control alcohol and drink themselves to death others can control it and it won't be much of a problem. I'm sorry for your loss, but I don;t think alcohol is the way to cope with pain. I'll edit the comment.
+Ricardo El Cucuy Nelson oh ok, then in that case I totally see why you mean. Sorry.
I've only drank once and I turned 21 a month ago. I drank 1 peach margarita at Red Lobster on my 21st birthday. I finished it but you know what. I don't really get the "Wow its great" feeling people talk about. I just felt more loose. And my story is the same as yours except it was my dad. Didn't quite drink a gallon a day I think but he would drink like 3-4 ofthose big cans that look like those large monster cans and he would be gone.Never remembering all the rude things he would say.
4th of JEWLY
lol ur picture is funny
Yo driftor love this story. Every dad does hit his child every now and then. Like your honesty
it sounds like your "happy pills" were actualy adderol
Wow your childhood puts that of others inc myself a bit more into perspective- I think we are about the same age. Quite a remarkable story, I think many in your situation would have fallen into traps. wish you continued success
I don't drink but I smoke weed everyday
How is weed worse
Vegtam cigarettes are loaded with unnatural chemicals that are wayyyyyy more harmful than cannabis. Cannabis is a natural drug that is literally used as a medicine and has been for eternities.
EliteGaming Frosty 😂😂😂😂 no it’s not
Y'all smoke. I can tell you all are white trying to act black.
got a lot of respect for u man good that u did this even u dont know us, its nice to hear your story and see u doin better man, subbed
Fact: If a man hits a child, he is not a good _anything_. He's human garbage and the _entire world_ would be _better_ with him, and everyone like him, _dead_
Fact: Parents who drink (or otherwise intoxicate themselves) to excess in front of, or while caring for, children are human garbage and the _entire world_ would be _better_ with them _dead_
Drift0r, you may love your parents but they _did not_ love you. Not as much as EVERY child _deserves_. If they did, they would NEVER have done those things. If they loved you they would have _died_ before they allowed those things to happen. You, and infact _everyone on earth_, deserves better from their parents
Everydayheresy people make mistakes. He said his dad was a good man. Only he can be the judge of that. Seems he was not repeatedly physically abused.
Everydayheresy wtf are you even saying
I have a lot of respect for you Drift. Takes balls to talk about this kind of subject.
driftors dad sounds like mine :/
mine too .-.
My dad as well.
Same ...
My dad and I are drinking buddies
Me to I'm 7
What is the definition of drinking here? Is it drink like in just drinking alcohol or is it like drink to get drunk? I have some wine, beer, cidre, etc. with friends, but I stop before them, because I like to stay in control of myself. So do I drink or do I not this way?
you said your sure your dad's all are crap heads too.. no my dad does whatever he can to make me happy and give me a life better than his I love my dad and he makes sure and works his but off just to support his family and he only has Sundays off. he works in a uncondition shop in 100 degree weather and works all day with no employees he is what every kid should have.!!
That's the sweetest thing :)
Same with mine
My dad isn't an alcoholic but once at our Halloween party all my friends parents were getting drunk and he had like 30 beers and was acting completely sober, he drove everyone home and was driving better than half the assholes you see on the road
i'm sorry but your mom did not drink a gallon of whiskey a day when she was a teenager. That's phisically impossible
It's called an exaggeration
Driftor is pretty much known for mixing up his words sometimes (no offense intended to him) so I'm sure he meant something like light jug or something.
You've never been around alcoholics if you think that. Your body builds up a tolerance, and it is very possible.
You're a good role model drift0r. All that stuff is in the past
thank god I'm muslim
Allah Akbar
Abdullah Alenizi my schoolmate is muslim and he drinks alcohol and hes parents dont know anything about it
Abdullah Alenizi please ignore the 9 year old comments
deserves more likes..... its nice to have things of substance discussed on a gaming channel
I really feel you Drif0r. I feel the same way. i have a similiar story. especially the part where everyone judges you when you say you dont drink. i know exactly how you feel. stay strong though bro.
Been binging all these philosophical videos of yours.
Drit0r, I kind of had a few things happen when I was 13 or 14 but a few times my dad threw me down the stairs after he got drunk and mad. So I kinda know how your childhood was. I feel for ya. And addictions run in my family so i got addicted to drumming and video games. And I also have a short temper and sometimes I feel like beating people to death. So I kind of know how your childhood wnet down. Good job for the vid and making it through your childhood.
I don't drink either. It's nice to feel that kind of connection with my favorite RUclipsr
I like hearing the struggles people been threw, not in that way, but how you turned out after those struggles
I feel you on everything, man. You don't even know I exist, but I want you to know I look up to you. Great video, drift.
"I started picking up those fireworks like I was a professional firework picker upper" hahaha
dude i love you, you seem very self controlled and responsible and very smart mad respect for you :)
Oh. My. God. Pre video trailer = BF4. Mind - Blown.
You know, your reasons for not drinking, are shockingly similar to my own. While my dads not a douche on a regular basis (actually a pretty cool guy) he's gone to war and has gotten PTSD along with a bad drinking habit which he broke not to long ago. I try not to blame what he did on him, but it's hard. Well, anyways, after a lot of talks (and other things) he finally dropped the drinking habit, retired from the army and spends more time with the family.
Brave of you to tell your story. Thanks and all the best.
I'm 13 years old....Don't call me a baby...I passed things you don't even imagine...I am italian....My Dad started drinking when I was 5 years old....My grandma died vomiting her pluck....That is all i gotta say.....:) It is good to know that someone helps you and supports you...Thanks...really....Liked this video an subscribed.....Have a good life people....Don't mess it up....:)
Omg you're so right about the instant judgement if you say you don't drink. It's almost like it pisses some people off. I mean all I said was I don't drink sheesh.
You should be proud of yourself for who you have become, you're a real good guy
just found out about this channel, big respect for you
I'd like to start out by saying, I hope the best for u and I love your stories! You are my most favorite Commentator and RUclipsr... Now I myself will never be able to drink I'm a kid at the moment but when I'm older I am not going to be able to because of a condition I have which I'm not going to go into great detail but because of It I will not be able to drink because it can be fatal, which of course I would not want to die...... also with your whole sweets thing, I'm the same ...also I love some food that has alcohol cooked out of them, like vodka sauce for pasta (penne alla vodka)
Hope you have a nice day! Keep making great videos!!!
My mom is an alcoholic as well, so this video really hit home for me.
i love this type of commentaries
Good stories man, I would whole-hearted agree with your decision not to drink because of your family. I personally drink, very responsibly, but I started at a young age. Since high school I have had to cut out a bunch of people from my life because they were erratic alcoholics, some being very close friends of mine, and usually these people had a family history of alcoholism. They saw their family and said "fuck it" while you pre-emptively said no and I really respect that.
Everything in moderation, my friend. I drank A LOT when I first turned 21 mainly because I joined the military right when I turned 18, and missed out on a lot of social events due to being underage. But fast forward now and I'm 24, and I might have a single beer every few days, sometimes going weeks or months without any at all. It's overrated to me anymore. And when I do it's at home. I have a CCW so I can't legally drink while carrying even if I wanted to.
From the very beginning, it seems that you have pretty much summed up my viewpoint on alcohol.
Ive lookef through all of Driftors liked videos...there's one I'm trying to find. Out of nowhere I have the urge to watch it now, it was a black dude playing some game talking about some interesting stuff
Drift0r, I normally don't comment on these vids, but I appreciate you being honest with us. I'm 19, and I come from a family of drinkers. Not alcoholics, but people that drink often. My dad was a bartender. I don't drink, but when I do, I drink for the flavor. I only drink high quality alcohol, because I don't want to drink just to drink. I want to drink to enjoy the flavor.
I think it's great that you don't want to drink alcohol, Drift0r. It's your life and your decision. You can do what you please. I think it's an admirable thing. Like you said, make up your own mind, don't let others do it for you. :)
In the beginning of October i bought two bottles of vodka and drank a little every other day and those two bottles ran out at the end of the month. Thanksgiving was my first time drinking since october. I had three bottles of beer on an empty stomach then i got dizzy and i started trembling 2hours after i drank and couldn't stop for 2more hours. I dont plan on drinking again.
Drinking vodka everyday (even in small amounts) is not the best thing.
I absoloutley love all of his commentaries are there any similar channels/content that do similar content like this
I usually don't care for commentator's stories, but this was really informative. I'm glad you shared
I have tried sooo many different types of alcoholic drinks and I just cant find appeal but Monster or other fizzy drinks are awesome to me I wonder what the appeal is? no offense anybody
I quit drinking pop drinks (Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, and etc). I usually drink Chinese and Japanese tea, water and juice. That's all. And so people think I'm weird. No, I'm not weird. The taste of coke and those other pop drinks are just taste the same.
Just glad you turned out like you did
